You see where it says 'M=E' in that DAEMON_OPTIONS line?  That should
probably be changed to 'M=Ea' meaning 'require authentication'.  That's
usually the right thing to do for a message submission agent, and the
use of authentication will allow senders to relay through the daemon
without the usual anti-relaying checks.

	Cheers,
